Detour Pit Stop #04: Prada Desert Store, USA
Makes for a great ironic Instagram shot, doesn't it?
Cars and coffee tables
Milled from a single block of aluminium it’s the first of a limited series of just ten tables.
Detour #09: Route One, Iceland
Whether you take days or weeks to drive it Iceland’s Route One will be seared on your memory forever.
Detour #08: Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway
Eight bridges span a series of small islands, some so low that you feel you’re skimming the sea, while fishermen catch cod from the side. Others a roller coaster ride into the sky and down again.
Detour #07: California 33, USA
California 33 is a throwback to the 1950s. A time when roads had no guard rails. When the route flowed with the land rather than being blasted through it.
Detour Pit Stop #03: Mrs Orcutt's Driveway, USA
Mrs Orcutt's 4.1-mile driveway was used as an illegal test track by car magazines and drag racers throughout the 1970s and 80s
Detour #06: Jebel Hafeet Street, UAE
Few have any reason to visit, except for the pure thrill of the drive.
Detour Pit Stop #02: Cadillac Ranch, USA
They stand, noses down, rear wheels upended, tail fins pointing skywards towards Cadillac heaven.
Detour #05: Col Tizi N’Tichka, Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Climbing to a mighty 2,200 metres the views are either epic or non-existent as the road can get completely engulfed in cloud.
Detour Pit Stop #01: Laerdal Tunnel, Norway
Buried deep beneath the mountains between Laerdal and Aurland is the world’s longest road tunnel.
Detour #04: The Rubicon Trail, USA
It’s a rock-crawling, axle-twisting grind through the High Sierras
Detour #03: Alaska Highway, USA
It was a monumental feat of engineering, employing 18,000 men over an astonishingly short eight months, in some of the most inhospitable terrain the world has to offer.
Detour #02: The World's Most Dangerous Road, Bolivia
There are more than a dozen memorials to those who have perished along the way.
Detour #01: Lysebotn Road, Norway
The Lysebotn Road tests man and machine, tightening in places before rising to a series of plateaus with the road reaching out as far as the eye can see and gentle kinks littered between bursts of straight.
